One of the signature features of Jolla's first smartphone
is The Other Half -- an intelligent phone back that uses
NFC to automatically customize the phone's software.
Early owners haven't really had a chance to try the
feature for themselves, but that's changing now that
Jolla is selling The Other Half covers through its
website. Paying €29 ($40) will get you an Aloe- or
Keira Black-colored shell, either of which changes the
system sounds and wallpaper to reflect a cohesive
theme. And if you're not happy with Jolla's designs, you
can make your own -- the company has released a
developer kit that includes the 3D printer file, software
instructions and tech specs that you'll need to get
cracking. It currently takes two to three weeks for The
Other Half units to ship to European customers, but
anyone who's unwilling to wait can grab the do-it-
yourself tools right away.
